The other day when DeMeco Ryans said he expects defensive tackle Kevin Givens to be a break-out candidate on defense this season, the first question was, “wait, doesn’t he still have that legal charge hanging over his head?”
Well, that charge has been dropped.
Givens’ situation now has been resolved, and he is seen as an important member of the 49ers’ defensive line rotation. The charge, stemming from a Feb. 22 incident in Baltimore, recently was dropped.
Now that Givens’ status is known, the 49ers are expecting big things from him as he enters his third NFL season.
